Josh Charnley signs a mock contract during a try celebration for Leigh Leopards, with a new contract deal announced shortly afterward. The Super League all-time leading try scorer is shown celebrating the scoring moment in a way that draws attention to his impending agreement.
Multiple outlets report that Charnley’s celebration comes after he scores for Leigh in a match against St Helens. Sky Sports and BBC describe the same sequence: he produces and signs a “contract” during the celebration, and the club then confirms the real extension moments later. Yahoo Sports similarly highlights that the celebration effectively signals a new deal.
Across the reports, the emphasis is on the unusual way the agreement is communicated rather than on detailed contract terms. While the outlets differ mainly in phrasing and presentation, they all describe the match context, the mock contract signing, and the timing of the club’s announcement that Charnley is remaining with Leigh.
